Yummy Yarn!

Aren't the colours in this yarn amazing!

I recieved this yarn(and stitch markers) in a secret easter yarn swap with fellow knitters on Ravelry. The deal was that we all hand dyed or purchased some yarn and sent it to our partner by Good Friday. So I want to send a BIG THANKYOU to my swap partner.

Oh and my partner, I promise you will recieve yours soon!

Welcome to the world Isla!

Last Wednesday we welcomed into our family another precious little girl!

Isla Zaria was born at 8:05pm on Feb 13th, weighing 6lb 14oz. She is just perfect and we are loving being a family of 4!

I love the postman!

No not in that way! I just have a little addiction to receiving parcels in the mail! I feel like a child waiting for Christmas or her birthday just waiting to see what the postman will bring today! I really need to keep this addiction under control as I could see it getting rather expensive otherwise!

So this is what the postman has brought me in the past few days…..

BOOKS! Yay! Crafty books! And I love them!

I got them from the Book Depository and they all arrived in separate parcels which kind of added to the excitement!

I have so many more things to make now! Less than 4 weeks until my due date now so I will have to see what I can fit in! I do hope this baby understands just how important all my craftyness is and sleeps extra well so his/her mummy can still manage to get her ‘fix’!

One less thing to do!

Well, I now have packed in my hospital bag all the PJ's I should need for my stay after the bub is born. Here are the latest PJ's made by me!

I changed the pattern from last time and they fit ok. It will be easier to see exactly how they fit when there isn't a baby bump in the way! I didn't make the top this time, I bought a cheap singlet top from Big W.

Don't look too hard at the seams where the piping meets! Because it doesn't exactly meet on one side!

Please ignore the creases. I gave them a 'test run' last night and they were very comfy!

The bag!

Yes, this is the bag I made for a Christmas present for my SIL about a month ago! She was here today with her bag and I finally remembered to take a photo!

My little girl

I just had to show this photo I took yesterday. I love it! I have had a 400D for about 6 months now but have rarely ventured off the auto settings and although I have had a few nice shots that way I though it was about time I had a play. Most of what I took yesterday were pretty average, not bad, but not great either. But this one I LOVE!

...and another!

Yes, I know! Are you impressed? Two in one day!

I finished this a few weeks ago and never blogged it so I thought it was time I got around to it. Please excuse the horrible pic of me! I hate taking pics of myself and DH wasn't home to help!

Oh, and for those who are interested I used this pattern.
